CAIR Condemns Israeli ‘Massacre’ in Gaza
* its high time that the criminal organization called CAIR is taken out of circulation. Fibbi Hooper and his gang need to be arrested for treason and sedition and incarcerated in Gitmo:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A prominent nationalIslamic civil rights and advocacy group today condemned Israeli attacks on theGaza Strip that left more than 200 people dead and called the death toll a”massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons.” More than 700people, including women and children, were injured in the attacks.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said ina statement:Â
“Despite the public ‘green light’ given to the Israeli military by theBush administration, American Muslims join our fellow citizens who respectinternational law and the sanctity of human life in repudiating this massacrecarried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons.Â
“It must be clear by now that the only future offered to the Palestinianpeople by the outgoing administration was one of perpetual subjugation andhumiliation at the hands of the Israeli occupiers. Unfortunately, our nation’stimid response to this tragic episode will only serve to fuel anti-Americansentiments in the Muslim world.Â
“We therefore call on President-elect Obama to demonstrate his commitmentto change our nation’s current one-sided Mideast policy by speaking out now infavor of peace and justice for all parties to this decades-long conflict.Â
“We also call on world leaders to take direct action to end Israel’scounterproductive and wildly disproportionate attacks and to end thehumanitarian siege of Gaza, which led to the recent breakdown of theceasefire.”Â
CAIR noted that the European Union (EU), Russia, the UN Secretary-General,the Arab League, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and otherinternational bodies are all urging Israel to end it attacks.Â
Middle East envoy Tony Blair deplored the “tragic of loss of life,” whileFrench President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned Israel’s “disproportionate use offorce.”Â
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said the Israeli attacks were”inflicting an unacceptable toll on Palestinian civilians and will only worsenthe humanitarian crisis as well as complicate the search for a peacefulsolution.”Â
CAIR, America’s largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 35 offices andchapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understandingof Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower AmericanMuslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.Â

King Abdullah had discussed “the Israeli agression against Gaza” with President George W. Bush by telephone. He called for “…stop this Israeli attack and save the lives of the innocent…”
Did he also speak with Hamas and tell them to stop their agression against Israel?
Did he tell Hamas to stop their daily firing of rockets into Israel to save the lives of the innocent Israelis?
Did he tell mohammedan suicide bombers to stop slaughtering innocent people around the world?
What did he have to say about the depraved mohammedan Mumbai killers of innocent people?
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has shamed Australia by supporting the UN condemnation of Israel, as aired on SBS 7.30pm News, 28 Dec.
The idiot Rudd can be emailed or written to in his office as PM. Write TO THE MORON AND TELL HIM WHAT YOU THINK. This is a propaganda war, and the muslim scum are writing to him. There is NO muslim that is an AustraliaN (Gay and GWB – THERE ARE LOTS OF JEWISH FOLK, HINDUS, BUDDHISTS, CHRISTIANS who are Aussies – expect a visit very soon) so Australians should write to Rudd and inform him of what his electortate really thinks.
Awww pitty those poor poor Palis. Never mind they shot rockets first or send in suicide bombings or boradcast PaliMouse so the lil muzzy boys n girls can get good muslim education on how Jews are pigs and apes and to blow themselves up in Jihad as martyrs. As usual the UN are bunch of pussies who jump on the anti-Jew propaganda machine coming frm the mouths of lying muslims.
Saudi <–funds over 90 per cent of muslim global terrorism. Nice bullshit Abdullah.
This handholding of Bush with Abdullah would bite him one day in his rear end.
This what is happening now was bound to happen only not knowing the exact date.
What is the next date for he confrontation with Iran, Hezbollah etc. etc.
Better ge5t the heck out of Iraq right now. It is nothing but suicide bombing there anyway. People who can slaughter their own people that way are not worth saving by foreign troops. Let them clean up their mess between themselves.
